He won’t have to after S.C. and Nevada either....the South will take care of Rubio. Can Cruz recover though...that is the question.
Easily. The race is to 1237. The entire month of FEB only offers 127 delegates. On March 1, Texas alone has 155, and one poll had Cruz winning TX at 45-30.
I posted the predicted outcomes if all of the first 16 states came out exactly a their current polling suggested, with Trump ahead in 13 of the 15 remaining contests... that would make it 253-209, Trump over Cruz, one third of the way through the states. That's still a fight. Cruz has zero reason to drop out for a long time, even losing every state but Texas. (Marco takes MN at the moment)
